Seriously Republicans? You want a bill that labels single parents as child abusers? Are you fraking nuts? Ignoring that some families are better off if the abusing parent is kicked out of the house or some parents choose to abandon their families, your blanket labeling will also include parents who are single due to unfortunate circumstances that no one chose.
My father died while my youngest brother was still a minor. By this logic, as my mother didn't remarry before he turned 18 (and in fact she never did remarry), she would have been labeled as a potential child abuser even though during that time my brother stayed out of trouble, did volunteer work, graduated high school & went to college (he turned 18 while a freshman). Meanwhile, married parents of some of the neighborhood punks, who probably were abusing their kids in some way, would not have been labeled as abusers. Where is the logic in that?
What is next? A law mandating shotgun weddings or forcing widows to marry their husband's brother? The Republican party is dead. We need a real opposition party (or 2 or 3).
